A member asked:

I am 33 weeks 2cm dilated and 20% thinned. i got a positive ffn test. how accurate is it that i will go into labor early?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

19-30% false positiv: A20%thining and 2cmdilated is not noses scarily an indication that you will deliver early.If you have not had any episodes of premature labor .you could remain this way until term provided you don't have regular contractions prior to that time.

If I had no problem dilating in my first birth (labor had to be augmentated due to water breaking and being strep b positive) is there a good chance I'll dilate without issues again? Or is it unpredictable because every birth is different?
